Mathematics

Nata [24]2 years ago

Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

The graph of a linear function passes through the point (2,5) and a slope of 3
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

y=3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) where x_1=2\\y_1=5. We write  

(y-5)=3(x-2)

Convert point slope form to slope intercept form by simplifying and rearranging.

y-5=3(x-2)\\y-5=3x-6\\y=3x-1
